- a DAS is built with the antennas distributed within a cell, i.e., a service area of an eNB, in order to provide improved mobile communication service, as compared to a CAS.

- the first UE 240 can be served at relatively high data rate using the distributed antennas 280 and 290 , which are located close to the first UE 240 .
- a UE can only compensate for the path loss from the antenna transmitting CRS for uplink transmission power to the UE. That is, an LTE UE performing uplink transmission using specific distributed antennas cannot correctly compensate for path loss for the distributed antennas in the DAS-based system, causing unnecessary power consumption and uplink interference.
- the uplink power control method of the LTE system compensates for path loss related to an antenna transmitting CRS used for channel estimation. Accordingly, the uplink power control method developed in consideration of a CAS-based system should be modified for a DAS-based system.

- the eNB measures the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) using the uplink information, such as a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmitted by the UE.

- the controller controls to transmit the reference signal at a predetermined transmission power level, such that the UE refers to the signal to measure the channel state.

- the eNB transmits CRS through the central antenna 401 covering the entire service area of the cell 400 .
- the UE 460 calculates uplink power using the power control algorithm of the conventional LTE system, as described above, only path loss between the central antenna 401 and the UE 460 is taken into account, without consideration of the path loss between the distributed antenna 410 and the UE 460 . This causes excessive power consumption for transmission of uplink information through the distributed antenna 410 . Accordingly, there is a need for a new uplink power control method that supports uplink transmission for supporting DAS-based service in the LTE system.

- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to mobile communication and, in particular, to an uplink power control method and apparatus for efficiently controlling uplink transmission power in a Distributed Antenna System (DAS)-based mobile communication system including a plurality of base stations.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
-
FIG. 1 illustrates the architecture of a conventional mobile communication system including three cells. Each cell is centered around an evolved Node B (eNB) having transmit and receive antennas. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , the mobile communication system includes a plurality ofcells second UEs cells cell 100, i.e., the service area of the eNB using the antenna(a) 130, the first UE 140 is served at relatively low data rate as compared to the second UE 150, because the first UE 140 farther from theantenna 130 than the second UE 150. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , the formation of the antenna arranged at the center of a cell is referred to as a Central Antenna System (CAS) in mobile communication systems. In CAS, even when an eNB includes multiple antennas, all of these antennas are arranged at the center of the cell to define the service area. - In a mobile communication system implemented with the CAS-based antenna formation, each UE measures an attenuation that a signal experiences to reach the center antenna and performs uplink transmission power based on the measurement result. For a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, a UE performs event-triggered power control for Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) as an uplink data channel. Consequently, there is no need to periodically transmit Transmission Power Control (TPC) commands on the PUSCH. In this case, the uplink transmission power PPUSCH(i) in an ith subframe can be expressed using Equation (1).
-
P PUSCH(i)=min{P CMAX,10 log10(M PUSCH(i))+P0— PUSCH(j)+ΔTF(i)+f(i)+α(j)PL} [dBm] (1) - In Equation (1), PCMAX denotes a maximum transmission power determined depending on a power class of a UE. PPUSCH(i) denotes a PUSCH resource allocated in the ith subframe and is expressed as a number of Resource Blocks (RBs). The uplink transmission power of a UE increases in proportion to the PPUSCH(i). PL denotes a downlink path loss measured by the UE and is calculated using a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), which is obtained by measuring the received signal strength of a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) transmitted by the eNB. α(j) denotes a scaling coefficient determined at higher layers in consideration of the path loss inconsistence between uplink and downlink channels.
- In an LTE system, a UE can compensate for path loss from the antenna transmitting CRS to the UE for calculating the uplink transmission power.
- PO
— PUSCH can be expressed as shown in Equation (2). -
P O— PUSCH(j)=PO— NOMINAL— PUSCH(j)+PO— NOMINAL— PUSCH(j) (2) - In Equation (2), PO
— NOMINAL— PUSCH(j) is a cell-specific parameter that is signaled by a higher layer. PO— UE— PUSCH(j) is a UE-specific parameter that is transmitted through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. ΔTF(i) denotes an Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) or Transport Format (TF) compensation parameter, which can be defined as shown Equation (3) below. -
- In Equation (3), Ks is a cell-specific parameter that is given by RRC signaling. That is, Ks can be defined as an indicator for determining the transmission power compensation value depending on frequency efficiency. Further, MPR(i) can be calculated using Equation (4).
-
- In Equation (4), C denotes a number of code blocks in the ith frame, and Kr denotes a length of an rth code block.
-
- denotes a total number of Resource Elements (REs) in a subframe. That is, the MPR(i) calculated using Equation (4) denotes the number of information bits transmitted per RE. If Ks=0, MPR(i)=0 and MCS compensation is not considered. If Ks=1.25, only 80%
-
- of the uplink channel is compensated in the MCS.
- The uplink transmission power control instantaneous adaptation is expressed as f (i), as shown in Equation (5).
-
f(i)=f(i−1)+δPUSCH(i−K PUSCH) (5) - In Equation (5), δPUSCH is a UE-specific parameter carried in a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) transmitted from the eNB to the UE and is known as a TPC value. KPUSCH in δPUSCH(i−KPUSCH) denotes a time offset between receipt of δPUSCH and applying δPUSCH in a transmission subframe for a UE. In Downlink Control Information (DCI) format 0 on the PDCCH, the PUSCH dB-accumulated value is [−1, 0, 1, 3]. In DCI format 3/3A on the PDCCH, the δPUSCH dB-accumulated value is [−1, 1] or [−1, 0, 1, 3].
- An absolute value of δPUSCH can be used, as shown in Equation (6), in place of accumulating δPUSCH, as shown in Equation (5). In this case, the absolute value of δPUSCH is [−4, −1, 1, 4] in the DCI format 0 transmitted on the PDCCH.
-
f(i)=δPUSCH(i−K PUSCH) (6) - However, the above described uplink power control method of the LTE system can only compensate for path loss from an antenna transmitting CRS used for channel estimation at all the UEs within the cell. Accordingly, a need exists for an improved uplink power control method to evolve the LTE system developed in consideration of CAS system to a distributed antenna system-based LTE system.
- Accordingly, the present invention is provided to address the above-mentioned problems and/or disadvantages and to offer at least the advantages described below.
- An aspect of the present invention is to provide an improved uplink transmission power control method for a DAS-based mobile communication, reducing uplink transmission interference and saving battery consumption of a UE.
- In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, an uplink power control method is provided for a terminal in a mobile communication system. The method includes receiving, by the terminal, a location parameter corresponding to at least one antenna selected among a plurality of antennas distributed in a service area of a base station, each of the plurality of antennas being connected to the base station; and calculating uplink power based on the location parameter.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, an uplink power control apparatus of a terminal in a mobile communication system is provided, which includes a parameter determiner for receiving a location parameter corresponding to at least one antenna selected among a plurality of antennas distributed in a service area of a base station, each of the plurality of antennas being connected to the base station; and a power controller for calculating uplink power based on the location parameter.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, an uplink power control method is provided for a base station in a mobile communication system. The method includes transmitting, by the base station, a location parameter corresponding to at least one antenna selected among a plurality of antennas distributed in a service area of the base station, each of the plurality of antennas being connected to the base station; and receiving, via the at least one antenna, uplink information transmitted by a terminal with uplink power calculated based on the location parameter. The terminal calculates the uplink power by compensating for path loss based on a distance between the at least one antenna and the terminal.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, an uplink power control apparatus of a base station in a mobile communication system is provided, which includes a plurality of antennas distributed in a service area of the base station, each of the plurality of antennas being connected to the base station; a transmitter for transmitting a location parameter corresponding to at least one antenna selected among the plurality of antennas; and a receiver for receiving, via the at least one antenna, uplink information transmitted by a terminal with uplink power calculated based on the location parameter. The terminal calculates the uplink power by compensating for path loss based on a distance between the at least one antenna and the terminal.

Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and structures incorporated herein may be omitted to avoid obscuring the subject matter of the present invention. Further, the following terms are defined in consideration of the functionality in the present invention, and may vary according to the intention of a user or an operator, usage, etc. Therefore, the definition should be made on the basis of the overall content of the present specification.
- Although detailed descriptions of embodiments of the present invention will be given herein with reference to an OFDM-based mobile communication system, particularly, the 3GPP Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (EUTRA) standard, by way of example, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is also applicable to other communication systems having similar technical backgrounds and channel formats, with slight modification, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- A DAS is built with the antennas distributed within a cell, i.e., a service area of an eNB, in order to provide improved mobile communication service, as compared to a CAS.
-
FIG. 2 illustrates a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As an example, the mobile communication system inFIG. 3 includes three cells, each cell being centered around an eNB that is provided with a plurality of antennas distributed throughout the service area of the cell. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , the mobile communication system includes a plurality ofcells central antenna 230 arranged at a center of the cell, and a plurality of distributedantennas - Additionally,
cell 200 includes afirst UE 240 and asecond UE 250. Each of the first andsecond UEs central antenna 230 and the distributedantennas - For example, the
first UE 240 receives a mobile communication service provided by the eNB through the distributedantennas first UE 240, and thesecond UE 250 receives a mobile communication service provided by the eNB through thecentral antenna 230, which is located closest to thesecond UE 250. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , if the mobile communication system was a CAS, thefirst UE 240 would be served at relatively low data rate because it is located far from thecentral antenna 230. However, in the DAS-based mobile communication system illustrated inFIG. 2 , thefirst UE 240 can be served at relatively high data rate using the distributedantennas first UE 240. - Using the power control method of the LTE system, a UE can only compensate for the path loss from the antenna transmitting CRS for uplink transmission power to the UE. That is, an LTE UE performing uplink transmission using specific distributed antennas cannot correctly compensate for path loss for the distributed antennas in the DAS-based system, causing unnecessary power consumption and uplink interference.
- As described above, the uplink power control method of the LTE system compensates for path loss related to an antenna transmitting CRS used for channel estimation. Accordingly, the uplink power control method developed in consideration of a CAS-based system should be modified for a DAS-based system.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an uplink power transmission power control method is provided, which is capable of compensating for the uplink path-loss in association with the UE performing uplink transmission using distributed antennas in the DAS-based communication system, thereby reducing uplink interference and unnecessary battery consumption.
-
FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an eNB procedure for transmitting power control parameter in an uplink transmission power control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , instep 300, an eNB assigns a PUSCH resource to a UE through a PDCCH and transmits parameters related to power control through the PDCCH or RRC signaling. That is, the eNB determines whether to transmit the power control parameters through RRC signaling on the Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) or through the PDCCH. If the eNB determines to use the PDCCH (e.g., δPUSCH), the eNB transmits the power control parameters to the UE through the PDCCH. Otherwise, if the eNB determines to use RRC signaling (e.g., Ks), the eNB transmits the power control parameters to the UE through RRC signaling. Here, the power control parameters are the parameters for use in the uplink power control of the UE. - In
step 310, the eNB measures the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) using the uplink information, such as a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmitted by the UE. Instep 320, the eNB updates the power control parameters based on the received signal strength of the uplink information and the interference amount of the uplink information to neighbor cells, and then ends the power control parameter transmission procedure. The updated power control parameters are transmitted through a channel determined for the next power control parameter procedure. - Although not illustrated, in addition to the plurality of antennas, the eNB includes a receiver, a power measurer, a parameter determiner, a transmitter, and a controller. The receiver receives the uplink information transmitted by the UEs within the services area through the plurality of antennas. The power measurer measures the received signal strengths of the uplink information per UE. The parameter determiner determines the power control parameter based on the received signal strength per UE. For example, the parameter determiner can calculate path loss based on a distance between the UE and the antenna to be used for communication with the UE, and can use the path loss as the power control parameter. The transmitter transmits the power control parameters for each UE. The controller controls to transmit the reference signal at a predetermined transmission power level, such that the UE refers to the signal to measure the channel state.
-
FIG. 4 illustrates an uplink transmission power control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , a DAS-enabledcell 400 is centered around acentral antenna 401 of an eNB and includes a plurality ofantennas UE 460 can transmit uplink information to the eNB through at least one of thecentral antenna 401 and distributedantennas antennas cell 400, the eNB transmits CRS through thecentral antenna 401 covering the entire service area of thecell 400. - If the
UE 460 calculates uplink power using the power control algorithm of the conventional LTE system, as described above, only path loss between thecentral antenna 401 and theUE 460 is taken into account, without consideration of the path loss between the distributed antenna 410 and theUE 460. This causes excessive power consumption for transmission of uplink information through the distributed antenna 410. Accordingly, there is a need for a new uplink power control method that supports uplink transmission for supporting DAS-based service in the LTE system. -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a UE according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , theUE 50 includes acodeword generator 500, a Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA)signal generator 510, a power amplifier (PA) 520, and apower controller 530. Thecodeword generator 500 generates a codeword. The SC-FDMA signal generator 510 performs Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Inverse DFT on the codeword in sequence to generate an SC-FDMA signal. ThePA 520 configures transmission power under the control of thepower controller 530 to transmit the codeword to the eNB through a transmission antenna. Thepower controller 530 controls thePA 520 to be set with the uplink power in consideration of the power control parameters and PUSCH scheduling information received from the eNB. Thepower controller 530 includes a parameter determiner to determine the power control parameter for use in uplink power calculation. - The parameter determiner of the
power controller 530 receives the location parameter corresponding to at least one antenna for use in communication with the eNB, among a plurality antennas distributed in the service area of the eNB. The parameter determiner determines the path loss between the communication antenna and theUE 50, based on the location parameter. - The location parameter can be used to determine a Channel Station Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) and transmission power of the CSI-RS, and the parameter determiner measures the received signal power of the CSI-RS and calculates the path loss by comparing the transmission and reception powers of the CSI-RS with each other. The location parameter can be an instantaneous adaptation value, and the parameter determiner can interpret the instantaneous adaptation value according to a predetermined value.
- The
power controller 530 calculates uplink power with the compensation of the path loss. When the central antenna is selected for communication, thepower controller 530 calculates the uplink power with a predetermined first instantaneous adaptation value. However, when a distributed antenna is selected for communication, thepower controller 530 calculates the uplink power with a predetermined second instantaneous adaptation value, which differs from the first instantaneous adaptation value. Thepower controller 530 configures thePA 520 with the uplink power, and thePA 520 transmits the uplink information to the eNB through the communication antenna at the uplink power level. -
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an uplink power control method of a UE according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , instep 600, theUE 50 receives power control parameters for controlling uplink power of theUE 50 from an eNB. In order to define the power control parameters, a power control formula for DAS-based service is defined. The power control formula for supporting DAS-based communication service is defined to compensate for path loss between one of the distributed antennas in the service area for communication with the eNB and theUE 50. For example, the power control formula for DAS-based service can be defined as shown in Equation (7). -
P PUSCH(i)=min{P CMAX,10 log10(M PUSCH(i))+P 0— PUSCH(j)+ΔTF(i)+f(i)+α(j)PL CRS+ΔD-port} [dBm] (7) - In Equation (7), PCMAX, MPUSCH(i), PO
— PUSCH(j), α(j), and f(i) are the same as defined for Equation (1), and are received from the eNB, as described above. PLCRS is the same as PL in Equation (1), and denotes the path loss between the central antenna and theUE 50. Again, PLCRS is calculated based on the received signal strength of CRS transmitted through the central antenna of the cell. - ΔD-port is a parameter newly introduced for DAS-based service, which is determined in consideration of a distance between the distributed antenna selected by the eNB for communication with the
UE 50 and theUE 50, and is transmitted to theUE 50 through RRC signaling. More specifically, ΔD-port is determined by the eNB, using locations of the distributed antennas, and is transmitted to the UE with the information of the distributed antenna selected for use in communication with the UE. ΔD-port also can be determined by the eNB based on path loss between a distributed antenna and the UE that are measured using SRS and then transmitted to theUE 50. - In
step 610, theUE 50 determines whether the antenna used in communicating with the eNB is a distributed antenna. Basically, theUE 50 determines whether a distributed antenna is used, based on whether ΔD-port is received from the eNB. That is, if ΔD-port is received from the eNB, theUE 50 determines that a distributed antenna is involved in the communication with the eNB. Otherwise, if ΔD-port is not received from the eNB, theUE 50 determines that no distributed antenna is involved in the communication with the eNB. - If it is determined that a distributed antenna is used for communication with the eNB in
step 610, theUE 50 configures Equation (7) with ΔD-port instep 620. Instep 630, theUE 50 sets other parameters, calculates uplink transmission power using Equation (7), and transmits the PUSCH with the calculated uplink transmission power. - However, if it is determined that only the central antenna is used for communication with the eNB in
step 610, theUE 50 calculates uplink transmission power using Equation (1), without using ΔD-port, and transmits the PUSCH with the calculated transmission power instep 621. Here, theUE 50 can set ΔD-port to 0 in Equation (7) to calculate the uplink power for the PUSCH transmission. - The eNB transmits the power control parameters to the UE in
step 600, as described with reference toFIG. 3 , and the power control parameters are used in Equation (7) for calculating the uplink transmission power, when a distributed antenna is used for communication between the eNB andUE 50. -
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an uplink power control method of a UE according to another embodiment of the present invention. Unlink the method inFIG. 6 , in which theUE 50 receives the power control parameter, ΔD-port, transmitted by the eNB for compensating for uplink path loss from theUE 50 to a distributed antenna, inFIG. 7 , theUE 50 receives the power control parameter for compensating for path loss through dynamic signaling on a PDCCH as a downlink control channel. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , theUE 50 receives power control parameters through RRC signaling or the PDCCH instep 700. The power control parameter for compensating for path loss between a distributed antenna and theUE 50 is transmitted from the eNB to theUE 50 through dynamic signaling on PDCCH. Accordingly, a power control formula for supporting DAS-based service can be defined as shown in Equation (8). -
P PUSCH(i)=min{P CMAX,10 log10(M PUSCH(i))+P 0— PUSCH(j)+ΔTF(i)+f(i)+α(j)PL CRS+ΔD-port(i)} [dBm] (8) - In Equation (8), PCMAX, MPUSCH(i), PO
— PUSCH(j), α(j), and f(i) are the same as defined in Equation (1), and are received from the eNB, as described above. PLCRS is the same as PL in Equation (1) and denotes the path loss between the central antenna and theUE 50. Again, PLCRS is calculated based on a received signal strength of CRS transmitted through the central antenna of the cell. - ΔD-port (i) is a parameter newly introduced for a DAS-based service, which is determined based on a distance between the distributed antenna selected by the eNB for communication with the
UE 50 and theUE 50. ΔD-port (i) is transmitted to theUE 50 through dynamic signaling on the PDCCH. Specifically, ΔD-port(i) is determined by the eNB, based on the path loss between the distributed antenna andUE 50, and is transmitted to theUE 50. - To support the DAS-based service, some bits for ΔD-port(i) can be added in a PDCCH of an LTE or LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system or some bits of the uplink grant of the LTE or LTE-A system can be reused. For example, a frequency hopping bit or a padding bit of the uplink grant of the LTE system can be reused for ΔD-port(i) in the DAS-based service. When the
UE 50 supports the use of a distributed antenna with f(i) as a TPC value composed of bits, ΔD-port(i), which is newly defined in Equation (8) can be expressed to use f(i) composed of more than 2 bits. - In
step 710, theUE 50 determines whether the antenna used in the communication with the eNB is a distributed antenna. If theUE 50 determines that a distributed antenna is used for communication with the eNB instep 710, theUE 50 configures Equation (8) with ΔD-port(i) instep 720. Instep 730, theUE 50 sets other parameters, calculates uplink transmission power using Equation (8), and transmits the PUSCH with the calculated uplink transmission power. - If is the
UE 50 determines that the central antenna is used for communication with the eNB instep 710, theUE 50 calculates uplink transmission power using Equation (1), without use of ΔD-port(i), and transmits the PUSCH with the calculated transmission power instep 721. Here, theUE 50 can set ΔS-port(i) to 0 in Equation (8) to calculate the uplink power for the PUSCH transmission. - As described above, ΔD-port(i) can be expressed with f(i) composed of more than 2 bits. In this case, step 720 can be modified to a step for checking the bits added for power control in the DAS-based service of the LTE system.
- The eNB transmits the power control parameters to the UE in
step 700, as described with reference toFIG. 3 , and the power control parameters are used in Equation (8) for calculating the uplink transmission power, when a distributed antenna is used for communication between the eNB andUE 50. -
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an uplink power control method of a UE according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method illustrated inFIG. 8 is the same as that illustrated inFIG. 7 , in that the power control parameter for compensating for path loss is transmitted through dynamic signaling on PDCCH as downlink control channel. However, in the method illustrated inFIG. 8 , the TPC part of Equation (1) is interpreted in different way when a distributed antenna is used, other than introducing additional bits for the purpose of path loss compensation. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , theUE 50 receives power control parameters through RRC signaling or the PDCCH instep 800. Instep 810, theUE 50 determines whether the antenna used in the communication with the eNB is a distributed antenna. If it is determined that a distributed antenna is used for communication with the eNB instep 810, instep 820, theUE 50 interprets the TPC bits as f(i) of Equation (1), defined for the situation using a distributed antenna. - However, if it is determined that the central antenna is used for communicating with the eNB in
step 810, theUE 50 interprets the TPC bits as specified in LTE standard instep 821. Instep 830, theUE 50 configures the uplink transmission power using Equation (1) and performs PUSCH transmission with the uplink transmission power. - As described above, the accumulation value of TPC bits in a DCI format transmitted on a PDCCH in the LTE system is [−1, 0, 1, 3], and the accumulation values of TPC bits in a DCI format 3/3A transmitted on the PDCCH are [−, 1] and [−1, 0, 1, 3]. The absolute value of f(i) by TPC bits in a DCI format 0 transmitted on the PDCCH is [−4, −1, 1, and 4]. When communicating with the eNB through a distributed antenna, the
UE 50 can perform transmission with relatively low uplink transmission power as compared to using the central antenna. Accordingly, when communicating with the eNB through a distributed antenna, the TPC bits can be interpreted as more negative values of their original values for use the LTE system. - The eNB transmits the power control parameters to the
UE 50 instep 800, as described with reference toFIG. 3 , and the power control parameters are used in Equation (8) for calculating the uplink transmission power, when a distributed antenna is used for communication between the eNB andUE 50. -
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an uplink power control method of a UE according to an embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the methods illustrated inFIGS. 6-8 , in the method illustrated inFIG. 9 , a new formula is provided for calculating an uplink transmission power based on path loss between the distributed antenna and theUE 50. - Referring to
FIG. 9 , theUE 50 receives power control parameters through RRC signaling or PDCCH instep 900. In order to define the power control parameters, a power control formula for DAS-based service is defined. - The power control formula for supporting DAS-based communication service compensates for path loss between at least one of the antennas distributed in the service area for communication with the eNB and the
UE 50 by measuring the received signal strength of a CSI-RS. The power control formula for DAS-based service can be defined as shown in Equation (9). -
P PUSCH(i)=min{P CMAX,10 log10(M PUSCH(i)+P 0— PUSCH(j)+ΔTF(i)+f(i)+α(j)PL CSI-RS} [dBm] (9) - In Equation (9), PCMAX, MPUSCH(i), PO
— PUSCH(j), α(j), and f(i) are that same as defined in Equation (1), and are received from the eNB, as described above. PLCSI-RS is a parameter that is newly introduced for supporting DAS-based service and is calculated based on a received signal strength transmitted by the eNB through distributed antennas. In this case, the eNB transmits a signal for identifying the distributed antenna through which the CSI-RS is transmitted, such that theUE 50 can use the CSI-RS transmitted through the correct distributed antenna to calculate the uplink transmission power. That is, the eNB notifies theUE 50 of the CSI-RS and of the transmission power of the CSI-RS, rather than notifying the UE of the distributed antenna directly. Using the difference between the transmission power of the CSI-RS and the received signal strength of the CSI-RS that is measured by theUE 50, theUE 50 calculates PLCSI-RS, and compensates for the uplink transmission power for the path loss between the distributed antenna and theUE 50 based on PLCSI-RS. - In
step 910, theUE 50 determines whether the antenna used in the communication with the eNB is a distributed antenna. If it is determined that a distributed antenna is used for communication with the eNB instep 910, theUE 50 measures the received signal strength of CSI-RS transmitted through the distributed antenna and calculates PLCSI-RS using the difference between the CSI-RS transmission power provided by the eNB and the received signal strength of the CSI-RS instep 920. Instep 930, theUE 50 sets other parameters, calculates uplink transmission power using Equation (9), and transmits the PUSCH with the calculated uplink transmission power. - If it is determined that the central antenna is used for communication with the eNB in
step 910, theUE 50 calculates uplink transmission power using Equation (1) and transmits the PUSCH with the calculated transmission power instep 921. - The eNB transmits the power control parameters to the
